Overview

• Worcester Magistrates’ Court imposed the two-year Stalking Protection Order on June 27 after finding Richard Jackson’s loitering and unwanted messages met the legal stalking threshold.
• The order prohibits Jackson from contacting Pippa Mills in any form and from attending New Scotland Yard without a pre-arranged appointment.
• In her victim impact statement, Mills described sleepless nights, hypervigilance on her route to work and persistent fear of being alone in her home.
• Jackson, 80, began targeting Mills in 2021 while she led West Mercia Police and continued his campaign after her 2024 appointment as Met Assistant Commissioner, driven by a grievance dating to 2004.
• His history includes an anti-social behaviour order for assaulting a neighbour and frequent court picketing with placards accusing police of corruption.
